Q: I'm Tunisian woman married to a British passport holder and we're both Muslims married in Qatar and live now in UAE. I want to know what happens if I ask for divorce.
We grew apart and he's been nasty with me, threatening me to have a mistress or get married again or even threaten to hit me if I reply to him during an argument. We have a joint account with full ownership (anyone of us has full authority over the account) for both of us but I actually own 90% of the money in it.
Lately, after our relationship started suffering, I discovered he transferred all the money to an off-shore account and he didn't consult me or ask for my permission, until he didn't tell me about it. I don't trust him anymore and want to divorce and have my money.
Would filing for divorce affect me or my assets (I have another separate current account)? Would I be able to get my money back? How will Sharia law affect this process assuming he won't cooperate?
Please advise.

الطلاق المتنازع عليه للوافدين في دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة
س: أنا مسلم مصري متزوج من مسيحية مقدونية طبقًا للشريعة الإسلامية في السفارة المصرية بدبي.
لقد كان زواجًا صعبًا للغاية، وأريد أن أطلق زوجتي الحامل، وهي لا تريد أن يمر ذلك بسلام. أنا كفيلها في دبي، حيث أنها لا تعمل حاليًا.
الاستمرار في هذا الزواج هو أمر مستحيل، ولا يوجد لدينا أي اتفاقيات قبل الزواج. أريد أن أعرف حقوقها وحقوقي، رجاءً.

الحصول على المهر والحقوق الأخرى عند الطلاق بموجب الشريعة الإسلامية
س: تزوجنا أنا وزوجي طبقًا للشريعة الإسلامية. عند الزواج، قدم زوجي سند ملكية يُفيد بأن الشقة غير مرهونة حتى يمنحها لي باعتبارها مهري.
ووعد بنقل الملكية في غضون خمسة أيام بعد الزواج. ولكن بعد مرور ثمانية أشهر، يدعي زوجي أن الشقة مرهونة بالفعل (لم يتم دفع ثمنها بالكامل حتى الآن) ويرفض نقل ملكيتها لي قائلاً أنني لا أستحقها ويتهمني بأنني زوجة سيئة.
حتى أنه توقف عن إعالتي ماديًا وأساء إلي جسديًا وعاطفيًا. لقد تقدمت بشكوى للشرطة بعد أن ضربني.
كيف يمكنني الحصول على مهري؟ الشقة مرهونة وأنا أعتقد أنها ليست كذلك. كيف أحصل على الطلاق دون أن أفقد حقوقي؟
هل سأحصل على نفقة لأن زوجي يرفض إعالتي ماديًا؟

عرض الجميعWhat can I do about constant noise from my upstairs neighbors?
Hello,
My neighbors on the upper floor are causing noise throughout the day, almost 24/7. They keep dragging furniture, dropping heavy objects, and slamming doors.
The property manager was not very helpful, and I cannot sleep or take power naps. I sleep when they do and wake up when they wake up.
Also, there are 6 family members in a one-bedroom apartment in Dubai.

Is a bounced rent cheque case considered a criminal record for U.S. visa applications?
Hello,
My rent cheque was bounced, and my landlord filed a case against me in Sharjah Court. I received a fine of 2,000 AED, which was later reduced to 1,000 AED upon appeal.
Does this case count as a criminal conviction under UAE law, or was it handled as a civil matter?
If I apply for a U.S. visa, will I need to submit court records under the requirement for applicants with past convictions?

عرض الجميعHow can I reverse the Bitcoin scam transation if I just lost everything in a flash loan attack?
DeFi was going to be the future of finance, open, trustless, unstoppable. I was completely on board, planting yields like some kind of digital Johnny Appleseed.
My collateral secured with Bitcoin was humming along on my favorite lending platform, earning me passive income while I slept. In came the flash loan attack.
One moment, I had six figures securely staked; the next, my positions were liquidated at the speed of regret. My loans, my collateral, my well-thought-out portfolio, poof.
Panic came faster than an Ethereum gas spike. I scanned Twitter, hoping it was FUD. Not a chance. Smart contract compromised. Funds stolen. The protocol team acted swiftly to do something, but damage was already done.

I booked a hotel stay for Eid through a travel agency and it was canceled two days before Eid. What to do?
I booked a hotel stay for Eid through a travel agency two weeks before Eid. The travel agency confirmed the booking on payment.
One day before Eid, the agency reached out, saying they had an issue with the supplier/hotel and the booking would be cancelled.
They offered alternative hotels that didn’t match the original property. I suggested some properties, and they couldn’t arrange them, or they asked for further payment, so I didn’t book anything through them.
What are my rights to a refund and compensation, as I had to book other arrangements separately at a significantly higher cost due to the last-minute prices?
It also caused significant emotional distress, less than 24 hours before the holiday. To which authority can a complaint be made in case of an unsatisfactory outcome?
Both the agency and the hotel are in Dubai.
